What does the new version entail?


Fixed so Bug sentry sends crash info
Fixed a telemetry error that caused some reporting to be wrong
Fixed a exe problem that allowed clients to visually host server
Adjusted the value of several scoring events
Tweaked balance on some weapons

We recommend nVidia players go and download the nvVidia 280.19 beta drivers from www.nvidia.com as it contains changes which should improve the BF3 Alpha Trial experience.


Service stars:

Now have names to show why you got it
Reduced to 2000 points (previously 10000)

Scoring:

Repair points now work for both squad and the rest of the team
Resupply points now work for both squad and the rest of the team

Ribbons

A few adjustments to criteria needed for ribbons.

Weapons:

Increased damage of bolt sniper rifles at long ranges for two hit kills.
Fixed so claymore mines will detonate and damage properly. Note you can crouch or prone to move past a mine without detonating it.
Adjusted the distance fall off for all automatic weapons. Weapons retain their power in extreme CQB but require an addition hit to kill at longer ranges.
Increased the headshot bonus to reward players for accurate fire at long ranges.
Fixed a bug where Snipers were never perfectly accurate like they should have been.
Increased the range of shotgun pellets to better fit our battle distances.
Tweaked the recoil of the G36C, this weapon had far too little recoil.
 
The recoil is a bit of an issue I've realised, in all previous bf games I couldn't go full auto unless I was on top of the enemy without hitting everything except what I was shooting at, and it required tapping to fire bullets off in bursts to get the job done.

I can quite happily go full-auto at medium-long range targets and have pretty successful accuracy.

I played BF:BC2 after BF:3, and the spotting in BF:BC2 is slightly different due to the spotting icon duration. I was on a UAV spotting for my team, and once i spotted an enemy, it lingered for about 5 seconds, then goes off, BF:3 seems to have it lingering possibly over 10 seconds from what i've seen, big difference if you ask me.

I meant it's **** in total! :p

BC2 I preferred hardcore mode 'cos it had 3d spotting disabled and didn't take stupid amounts of shots to kill someone.

Hope they implement it into BF3.
 
I admit it's crap too, i'll be playing hardcore mode if it's available in BF:3, and if it's similar to BF:BC2's hardcore mode.
 
Hmm something wrong with my install.

Battlelog says I need to install the game when I do it just keeps saying it's not installed...?

Anyone know where Origin actually installs games to?

Hi guys,

I assume this is still in Beta and that's what everyone is reffering to? :eek:

If it is a playable Beta either way, I am miles behind!
